Yes - one of our most-requested projects. Refinishing 1990s-2000s oak/cherry cabinets with paint transforms a kitchen at a fraction of replacement cost. Sprayed on-site or off-site for factory-quality finish. $3,500-8,500 for typical Brevard kitchen depending on cabinet count and complexity.
$3,500-8,500 for typical Brevard kitchen depending on cabinet count and complexity. Includes degrease, sand, bonding primer, 2-coat finish. We spray for factory-quality smooth finish. Refinishing 1990s-2000s oak/cherry cabinets with paint transforms a kitchen at a fraction of replacement cost. Before committing, check that the cabinet boxes and doors are solid, because paint changes the color and finish but does not fix swollen particleboard, loose face frames or a layout that does not work. If the boxes are sound and you like the layout, painting is the practical route; if you plan to move appliances or plumbing, price replacement instead.
Florida homes built before 1978 may contain lead paint. EPA RRP-certified painters are required. We test before sanding any older home and follow proper containment protocols. Brevard's stucco needs elastomeric paint or premium acrylic with proper masonry primer. Salt-air homes need premium acrylic and proper substrate prep.
Single room: 1 day. Whole-home interior: 4-7 days depending on size. We do one zone at a time so you can keep using parts of the house. Whole-home interior: $4,000-12,000 depending on size, ceiling height, and trim complexity. Interior is less affected since the home is air conditioned.
Single-family home: 3-6 days depending on weather. Pressure wash takes a day, then drying, then prep and paint. Rain delays are common in Brevard summers. Wood trim and stucco need to dry fully after washing before primer goes on, so a wet week pushes the schedule rather than letting anyone paint over damp surfaces. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 per the NOAA National Hurricane Center, so if you have a deadline such as a closing, plan the exterior for the drier months.
We schedule exterior painting outside the highest-humidity months (June-September). When that's not possible, we monitor dew point and paint during morning windows. Interior is less affected since the home is air conditioned. Painting popcorn ceilings is possible but tricky - the texture absorbs paint unevenly.
Yes for interior projects. We move furniture to the center of rooms, cover with drop cloths, and return to position when complete. Before the crew arrives, take down wall art and pack small valuables, electronics and fragile items from shelves, since those are safer for you to store yourself. Very heavy pieces such as pianos, safes or fully loaded bookcases are best discussed during the estimate so everyone knows what stays in place and simply gets covered.
Yes - hairline cracks, nail holes, and minor damage are included in standard interior painting. Major repair (water damage, large patches) is quoted separately. The distinction matters because a water-stained or soft spot usually signals a leak that has to be found and fixed first, or the stain will bleed back through new paint. Point out every crack, dent and stain during the walkthrough so the quote clearly separates routine patching from repair work.
Yes but we don't recommend it. Our pricing reflects the contractor-tier pricing we get on premium paint. Plus warranty coverage requires us to use materials we control. 8-12 years with premium paint systems (Sherwin Duration, Benjamin Moore Aura). Premium paint and 2-coat coverage are included.
Exterior: soft whites, warm grays with coastal blues for trim, sage greens, and traditional Florida tropical pastels in beachside homes. Interior: warm whites, sage and seafoam greens, navy accents, classic neutrals. Before choosing, test large samples on more than one wall and look at them in the morning and late afternoon, because strong Florida sun shifts how warm or cool a color reads. If your home is in an HOA community, check the approved exterior palette first, since many associations require approval before an exterior color change.
Different scope but yes, we install epoxy floor coatings as a separate service. See /epoxy-flooring for details. It is scheduled separately because garage floors need their own prep, such as cleaning, grinding or etching the concrete and checking it for moisture, and the coating has to cure before you park on it. If you are also painting the garage walls, finishing the walls before the floor coating goes down avoids drips on the new surface.
1-year workmanship warranty on painting. We provide a small can of touch-up paint matching what was applied so you can handle minor scuffs over the years. Store the touch-up can indoors in an air-conditioned space rather than a hot garage so it stays usable, and label it with the room and sheen. For anything beyond a small scuff, such as peeling, bubbling or a finish failing over a wide area, reach out during the warranty year so it can be looked at as a workmanship issue.
Painting popcorn ceilings is possible but tricky - the texture absorbs paint unevenly. We recommend scraping/skimming first if the popcorn is dated or damaged. Then prime and paint smoothly. In older homes, have the texture tested for asbestos before anyone scrapes it, because some older ceiling textures contained it. In a home built before 1978 painted surfaces may also contain lead-based paint, and under the EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule paid work that disturbs them must use lead-safe work practices.
Yes. Brevard's stucco needs elastomeric paint or premium acrylic with proper masonry primer. We pressure wash, repair cracks, then apply 2 coats. Pressure wash takes a day, then drying, then prep and paint. 8-12 years with premium paint systems (Sherwin Duration, Benjamin Moore Aura).
Flat: ceilings and low-traffic walls. Eggshell: most living-area walls (slight sheen, wipeable). Satin: kitchens, baths, kids' rooms (more wipeable). Semi-gloss: trim, doors, cabinets (most durable, most visible imperfections). The trade-off is that higher sheen is easier to clean but shows every dent, patch and roller mark, while flatter finishes hide wall flaws but scuff more easily. In humid Florida bathrooms and laundry rooms, satin or semi-gloss also sheds moisture and resists mildew better than flat paint.
